Greasy Fried Chicken!

give me some fried chicken,
as greasy as grease can be;
with fried taters on the side,
who's worried about fat free?!

give me a breast of chicken,
cooked in gran'ma's lard;
make sure that bird's extra crusty,
'cause i like my chicken hard!

bring on the jalapenos,
so hot i can hardly speak;
now tell mama to call my job,
i'll be sick for at least a week!

That fried chicken is sooo tempting, Milton, and really hard to resist. Of course, that is, until the next day when you have a tummy ache. This could have been Elvis's theme song. Nicely written with good use of humor. Love, Carolyn
